We classify every crack before injecting it — structural cracks get epoxy, active leaks get flexible polyurethane, and both get a written scope before we start.
Not every Cottage Grove, MN foundation crack needs the same material or approach. A vertical settlement crack behaves differently than a stair-step block crack, and we adjust injection technique and material to match what's actually happening in the wall.
Our technicians are trained to tell a cosmetic hairline crack apart from one that signals structural movement, before recommending a fix.
Most crack injection appointments can be scheduled within a day or two of your call.
A single crack repair is one of the most predictably priced jobs we do — no surprise scope creep.
Polyurethane expands to fill voids behind an actively weeping wall; epoxy is reserved for cracks that need structural bonding.
Every Cottage Grove, MN Foundation Crack Repair job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
Epoxy-injected cracks regain much of their original structural strength, which matters for load-bearing foundation walls.
Polyurethane cures even in the presence of water, which makes it the right call for a crack that's actively letting water through.
We also check for bowing alongside stair-step cracks, since that combination can point to a bigger structural issue.
We document crack width and location with photos before and after injection so you have a record of the repair.
Fast turnaround matters during a real estate transaction, and we prioritize scheduling for time-sensitive pre-sale repairs.
Tell us the crack's location, whether it's actively leaking, and roughly how wide it is so we can bring the right materials.
A technician measures crack width, checks for wall bowing, and determines whether it's structural, cosmetic, or actively leaking.
You'll get a price based on crack length and material — epoxy or polyurethane — before any drilling starts.
We check the injection ports after curing to confirm the material fully filled the crack before we consider the job done.
"Crack in our basement wall had been leaking for a year before we finally called. Injection took less than an afternoon and it's been dry since."
— Cottage Grove Seller
"Polyurethane injection stopped an active leak the same day they showed up — didn't expect it to be that fast."
— Cottage Grove Homeowner
"Had two cracks — one needed epoxy, one needed polyurethane. They matched material to each one instead of using the same thing on both."
— Cottage Grove Customer
"Stair-step crack in our block wall had us worried about the whole foundation. Turned out to be isolated and fixable with injection."
— Cottage Grove Homeowner
Crack classification is separate from water contamination — we assess whether the crack is structural or cosmetic based on width, pattern, and any wall bowing.
Catching a crack early with injection usually costs less than waiting until it's actively leaking.
We make the call on-site after inspecting the crack, not before we've seen it.
Most single-crack injections are completed in a few hours during one visit.
If new movement occurs elsewhere in the wall, that's a separate issue we'd assess independently.
